shall, at the earliest possible time, identify all
potential Federal agencies that--
(A) have jurisdiction by law over
environmental-related issues that may be
affected by the project and the analysis of
which would be part of any environmental
document required by the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); or
(B) may be required by Federal law to
independently--
(i) conduct an environmental-
related review or analysis; or

Secretary and the head of each Federal agency
identified under paragraph (1)--
(A)(i) shall jointly develop and establish
time periods for review for--
(I) all Federal agency comments
with respect to any environmental
review documents required by the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) for the
project; and
(II) all other independent Federal
agency environmental analyses, reviews,
opinions, and decisions on any permits,
licenses, and approvals that must be
issued or made for the project;
whereby each such Federal agency's review shall
be undertaken and completed within such
established time periods for review; or
(ii) may enter into an agreement to
establish such time periods for review with
respect to a class of project; and
(B) shall ensure, in establishing such time
periods for review, that the conduct of any
such analysis, review, opinion, and decision is
undertaken concurrently with all other
environmental reviews for the project,
including the reviews required by the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.); except that such review may not
be concurrent if the affected Federal agency
can demonstrate that such concurrent review
would result in a significant adverse impact to
the environment or substantively alter the
operation of Federal law or would not be
possible without information developed as part
of the environmental review process.
(3) Factors to be considered.--Time periods for
review established under this section shall be
consistent with the time periods established by the
Council on Environmental Quality under sections 1501.8
and 1506.10 of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations.
(4) Extensions.--The Secretary shall extend any
time periods for review under this section if, upon
good cause shown, the Secretary and any Federal agency
concerned determine that additional time for analysis
and review is needed as a result of new information
that has been discovered that could not reasonably have
been anticipated when the Federal agency's time periods
for review were established. Any memorandum of
understanding shall be modified to incorporate any
mutually agreed-upon extensions.
(c) Dispute Resolution.--When the Secretary determines that
a Federal agency which is subject to a time period for its
environmental review or analysis under this section has failed
to complete such review, analysis, opinion, or decision on
issuing any permit, license, or approval within the established
time period or within any agreed-upon extension to such time
period, the Secretary may, after notice and consultation with
such agency, close the record on the matter before the
Secretary. If the Secretary finds, after timely compliance with
this section, that an environmental issue related to the
project that an affected Federal agency has jurisdiction over
by operation of Federal law has not been resolved, the
Secretary and the head of the Federal agency shall resolve the
matter not later than 30 days after the date of the finding by
the Secretary.
(d) Participation of State Agencies.--For any project
eligible for assistance under chapter 1 of title 23, United
States Code, a State, by operation of State law, may require
that all State agencies that have jurisdiction by State or
Federal law over environmental-related issues that may be
affected by the project, or that are requiredto issue any
environmental-related reviews, analyses, opinions, or determinations on
issuing any permits, licenses, or approvals for the project, be subject
to the coordinated environmental review process established under this
section unless the Secretary determines that a State's participation
would not be in the public interest. For a State to require State
agencies to participate in the review process, all affected agencies of
the State shall be subject to the review process.
(e) Assistance to Affected Federal Agencies.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary may approve a
request by a State to provide funds made available
under chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code, to the
State for the project subject to the coordinated
environmental review process established under this
section to affected Federal agencies to provide the
resources necessary to meet any time limits established
under this section.
(2) Amounts.--Such requests under paragraph (1)
shall be approved only--
(A) for the additional amounts that the
Secretary determines are necessary for the
affected Federal agencies to meet the time
limits for environmental review; and
(B) if such time limits are less than the
customary time necessary for such review.
(f) Judicial Review and Savings Clause.--
(1) Judicial review.--Nothing in this section shall
affect the reviewability of any final Federal agency
action in a district court of the United States or in
the court of any State.
(2) Savings clause.--Nothing in this section shall
affect the applicability of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) or any
other Federal environmental statute or affect the
responsibility of any Federal officer to comply with or
enforce any such statute.

Subtitle E--Finance
CHAPTER 1--TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION
SEC. 1501. SHORT TITLE.
This chapter may be cited as the ``Transportation
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998''.
SEC. 1502. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that--
(1) a well-developed system of transportation
infrastructure is critical to the economic well-being,
health, and welfare of the people of the United States;
(2) traditional public funding techniques such as
grant programs are unable to keep pace with the
infrastructure investment needs of the United States
because of budgetary constraints at the Federal, State,
and local levels of government;
(3) major transportation infrastructure facilities
that address critical national needs, such as
intermodal facilities, border crossings, and multistate
trade corridors, are of a scale that exceeds the
capacity of Federal and State assistance programs in
effect on the date of enactment of this Act;
(4) new investment capital can be attracted to
infrastructure projects that are capable of generating
their own revenue streams through user charges or other
dedicated funding sources; and
(5) a Federal credit program for projects of
national significance can complement existing funding
resources by filling market gaps, thereby leveraging
substantial private co-investment.
